Generally divorce terminates inheritance rights. However, there might be circumstances under which an ex-spouse is entitled to inherit, such as continuation of alimony. More facts are needed to provide a definitive answer.
Re-marriage invalidates the prior Will. That is why upon separation, divorce or re-marriage, a new Will should always be made.
I hope this helps!
